=head1 NAME

Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::NS - Resource Record Handler

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  DO NOT use Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::NS
  DO NOT require Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::NS

  Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR::NS is autoloaded by
  class Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR and its methods
  are instantiated in a 'special' manner.

  use Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR;
  ($get,$put,$parse) = new Net::DNS::ToolKit::RR;

  ($newoff,$name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength,
        $nsdname) = $get->NS(\$buffer,$offset);

  Note: the $get->NS method is normally called
  via:  @stuff = $get->next(\$buffer,$offset);

  ($newoff,@dnptrs)=$put->NS(\$buffer,$offset,\@dnptrs,
	$name,$type,$class,$ttl,$nsdname);

  $NAME,$TYPE,$CLASS,$TTL,$rdlength,$NSDNAME)
    = $parse->NS($name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength,
        $nsdname);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B appends an NS resource record to a DNS packet under
construction, recovers an NS resource record from a packet being decoded, and
converts the numeric/binary portions of the resource record to human
readable form.

  Description from RFC1035.txt

  3.2.1. Format

  All RRs have the same top level format shown below:

                                    1  1  1  1  1  1
      0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  0  1  2  3  4  5
    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
    |                      NAME                     |
    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
    |                      TYPE                     |
    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
    |                     CLASS                     |
    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
    |                      TTL                      |
    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
    |                   RDLENGTH                    |
    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--|
    |                     RDATA                     |
    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

  NAME	an owner name, i.e., the name of the node to which this
	resource record pertains.

  TYPE	two octets containing one of the RR TYPE codes.

  CLASS	two octets containing one of the RR CLASS codes.

  TTL	a 32 bit signed integer that specifies the time interval
	that the resource record may be cached before the source
	of the information should again be consulted.  Zero
	values are interpreted to mean that the RR can only be
	used for the transaction in progress, and should not be
	cached.  For example, SOA records are always distributed
	with a zero TTL to prohibit caching.  Zero values can
	also be used for extremely volatile data.

  RDLENGTH an unsigned 16 bit integer that specifies the length
	in octets of the RDATA field.

  RDATA	a variable length string of octets that describes the
	resource.  The format of this information varies
	according to the TYPE and CLASS of the resource record.

  3.3.11. NS RDATA format

    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
    /                   NSDNAME                     /
    /                                               /
    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

  where:

  NSDNAME A  which specifies a host which should be
	authoritative for the specified class and domain.

NS records cause both the usual additional section processing to locate
a type A record, and, when used in a referral, a special search of the
zone in which they reside for glue information.

The NS RR states that the named host should be expected to have a zone
starting at owner name of the specified class.  Note that the class may
not indicate the protocol family which should be used to communicate
with the host, although it is typically a strong hint.  For example,
hosts which are name servers for either Internet (IN) or Hesiod (HS)
class information are normally queried using IN class protocols.

=over 4

=item * @stuff = $get->NS(\$buffer,$offset);

  Get the contents of the resource record.

  USE: @stuff = $get->next(\$buffer,$offset);

  where: @stuff = (
  $newoff $name,$type,$class,$ttl,$rdlength,
  $nsdname );

All except the last item, B<$nsdname>, is provided by
the class loader, B. The code in this method knows
how to retrieve B<$nsdname>.

  input:        pointer to buffer,
                offset into buffer
  returns:      offset to next resource,
                @common RR elements,
		NS Domain Name

=cut

sub get {
  my($self,$bp,$offset) = @_;
  $offset += NS_INT16SZ;	# skip over rdlength
  dn_expand($bp,$offset);
}

=item * ($newoff,@dnptrs)=$put->NS(\$buffer,$offset,\@dnptrs,
	$name,$type,$class,$ttl,$nsdname);

Append an NS record to $buffer.

  where @common = (
	$name,$type,$class,$ttl);

The method will insert the $rdlength and $nsdname, then
pass through the updated pointer to the array of compressed names

The class loader, B, inserts the @common elements and
returns updated @dnptrs. This module knows how to insert its RDATA and
calculate the $rdlength.

  input:        pointer to buffer,
                offset (normally end of buffer),
                pointer to compressed name array,
                @common RR elements,
		NS Domain Name
  output:       offset to next RR,
                new compressed name pointer array,
           or   empty list () on error.

=cut

sub put {
  return () unless @_;		# always return on error
  my($self,$bp,$off,$dnp,$nsdname) = @_;
  my $rdlp = $off;		# save pointer to rdlength
  return () unless		# check for valid offset and get
	($off = put16($bp,$off,0)) &&	# offset to name space
	(@_ = dn_comp($bp,$off,\$nsdname,$dnp));
  # new offset is first item in @_
  # rdlength = new offset - previous offset
  put16($bp,$rdlp, $_[0] - $off);
  return @_;
}

=item * (@COMMON,$NSDNAME) = $parse->NS(@common,$nsdname);

Converts binary/numeric field data into human readable form. The common RR
elements are supplied by the class loader, B.
For NS RR's, this returns $nsdname terminated with '.'

  input:	NS Domain Name
  returns:	NS Domain Name.
